the cord moves free-ly. There may be a grommet or sealant at the light cord’s point of entry into the niche. Remov-ing this should allow the cord to pull freely through the conduit. Leave cord in place until Step 6.
STEP 6a: Install Light to most Niches STEP 5: Insert CellSTEP 6b: Install Light to Pentair NicheFor Pentair® niches, use the included spacer according to the diagram below. Failure to install the plastic spacer properly may result in the light being inadequately fastened. Plastic gunite type niches will not require the spacer.
Refer to the manual for instructions when using a Swimquip niche.
STEP 9: Install Trim RingInstall the Trim Ring as shown.
STEP 5: Snake Cord through Conduit
Pull at the junction box or transformer end to snake the Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic cord through the con-duit. Leave slack at the light end for coiling cord in the niche. The coil length should be adequate for placing the light on the deck if pool servicing ever requires light removal.
STEP 8: Wire to Power Supply
After wiring the Universal ColorLogic/CrystaLogic light, install the cover and gasket making sure that there is a watertight seal.
Some niches may have an 8AWG connection from the junction box to the niche. If so, ensure that this connection is not interrupted when installing the new light.

Replacing 12 volt pool or spa lightswith Universal ColorLogicTM or CrystaLogicTM
Cut excess cord and make the wiring connection at the junction box or transformer in the same manner as the old light.
If the new Universal ColorLogic light will be controlled by network communications using a Hayward Pro Logic controller, an LKBUN1000 coupler must also be installed. Refer to the LKBUN1000 instructions for installation and wiring information.
